I'm 21 and though I can decifer it. I can't stand text speak. Spoken by thebiggest scum bags in society, killing the English language. My grammer is not great but for god's sake "2" instead of "to" is so ridiculous.

likewise im 22, text speak is fine if its just a few shortenings here and there but my sister who is 16 sends me texts taht are so hard to decipher i have to ring her to ask her what teh heck shes trying to tell me! vowels are your friends, dont kick them all out!

I agree about text speak - save it for texts, not websites where they may be people who don't understand it/just want to read proper English.

O2 give you 10 free texts a month (don't remember if you have to be a customer of o2 or not)
